Corrected....Bad Day for a Cessna pilot!
Darn.... nice plane. Hope it flies again.
Did a moose get on the runway again..???
Well, here’s your problem. Looks like someone attached a rectangular wheel!
aint no might about it.Honked up nose strut, bent props and wet barrels under both engines... might be a total out by the insurance company.
True. It's a shame, sure looks like a nice aircraft. Lots of good parts to salvage.aint no might about it.

Never seen a moose on the Juneau runway. Plenty of porcupines though.
I came close to hitting a Bear in Gustavis not long ago.I saw more bears than moose when I was in civilized southeast. Almost hit an otter once.

Absolutely insurance would cover it. That's what insurance does. However, their version of "cover it" may be here's a check for less than the cost of repairs, so there's that.Just talked to a friend and he said the C-441 was damaged on landing, "it was a bad landing that busted the nose gear off". He sent me a picture of him (taken by another friend) landing past the C-441 on the runway...
edit: I wonder if insurance will cover a mistake like that by the pilot?
And " kathrynsreport said the nose gear collapsed". Not sure that is how I would word it. Collapsed to me means it folded toward a gear up position. I would say the strut sheared off due to a hard landing..So if I read correctly, this plane had a take off incident in Deadhorse 16 months earlier then the landing incident in Juneau.??
I think I know where I should send a resume....
